arid virulent abuse of such men as Lord Gren ville, Lot d Castlereagh, and Mr. Grattan, arc, from the character in which 4vlr.flohhouse writes, .• the only tribute of applause which 's% e wish them to receive at his hands ; and we are particu larly delighted with the flippant insolence with which the defence of Napoleon is ;nixed up with the attack on Mr. Grattan, for his excellent and patriotic speech on the preparations for war in the spring of 1815. • There must be some mistake in the report of his speech— " method in his madness, and inadi , e: , s in his method r' But however he might- have been carried away by the feelings of the ni.oment, the enthusiasm of nonsense could not have been communicated to the orator himself; and the applause of the treasury bench must soon have made him,. like Phocion; sus pect he had said some silly thing. ‘Vhenee he gut his elo quence we need not ask—there is something not to be mis taken in the taste of either of the ttiou,and rills that How front the harmonious springs of the Irish tielieon—but his facts, where could he have procured them ? who has autusett himself at the pitiful sport of playing upon a patriot vene rable by his talents and age ?'---,vof. i. p. Regarding Napoleon and his warriors as the partisans of the cause of peoples against the conspiracy of Kings, what ever may he my regret that that cause has not fallen into hands so pure as to command unqualified support, I cannot help wishing, that the French may meet with ac much success as will not compromise the military character of my own count p. 475- Indeed I should presume, that neither in France nor England will Napoleon want any excuse for having struck the first blow, except Mr. Grattan should, in hisliot,• have doomed him to bleed without resistance.'—vol,i. p.4tt3. In the gross and amusing abuse which the author lavishes on Lord Castleie.agh, there are some deli cious strokes of nature ; at, for instance, when— at the moment that Path was a second time taken by the Al lies, arid that Lord Castlereagh . followed the British army into that 'Capital—Mr. Hob house pleasantly describes himself as retiting to his lodgings, to write an Essay to acquaint his Lord ship and the Duke of Wellington with the true state of France and with t he real interests of Eng land in that important conjuncture. In the whole course of our reading we have never met so full and so happy a ridicule of the little meddling va nity of that class of precocious politicians, who have lost the modesty - 61 childhood, and not yet attained the reason of man; Who, absorbed in a contemplation of their own perfections, forget. that age, rank, and experience are ingredients in the characters of statesmen, and fancy theniselves tit to be the rulers of nations, and the at biters of the world. There is a silly simplicity mixed up with a turgid arrogane'e in Mr. Hoblionse".B description of himself in these ridiculous circum stances, which attests his comic powers, and which cannot but entertain, the gravest of our readers. So entirely was I wrapt up in the persuasion, that the truth of the present state Of feeling in France need only be seen to carry to any mind the-sconvietion of the injustice and impolicy of bearing back the Bourbons in triumph, over the trampled necks of Frenchmen; that I was bold enough to suppose a representation of facts, however faintly and imper fectly drawn,, might. not be totally lost even upon Lord Cas ,tlereagh, and might arrest his attention sufficiently to make him wait for better authority before he proceeded todecide. • 1 was employed in the act of softening down the ridicule of an'individual imploring mercy for eight and twenty mil lions, and praying for reprieve, if not for pardon, when loud acclamations called me into the street, and saved me alt flu ther labour in mitt, by presenting to me another revolution of hamdlterchiefs. In short, a battalion of the National Guards were passing with white flags; 'to the shunts of Vive le Itut. Tbe streets were lined with the same troops, in white cockades not a national colour was to Int seen; the white flag was. floating on the column of the grand army, and the. wind ows glittered with women and white link. My eyes were scarcely disenchanted, until I saw the Moniteur, with its former designation—again the only official journal ; and read in that paper two ordonnances of Louis, by the grace of God,, King of France and Navarre; dated the 21st year of his reign. The same King, I saw, was to enter Paris about three o'clock in the aftertroon:—vol. ii. p. 154. No—Footes farces, or Hogarth's Enraged Mu sician, have nothing more droll than- this.—Shut up in his lodgings in a back street of a capital, of the language of which he knows little,- and of its ffinl!llerS and feelings still less, our young statesman is in the midst of an admirable essay, proving to the monarchs, the statesmen anti ge nerals of Europe, that the , people of France were decidedly_and to a nian hostile to the cause and colours of the Bourbons, and that they would die like heroes, rather than subait to the degra dation of having ,any sovereign who should not be of Mr. Hothouse's choosing but--- while employed in rounding the most elo quent and cogent sentence of his whole mani festo,---he is interrupted by this same people, na tional guards, citizens and all, provokingly dress ed with white cockades, and vociferating, as if from mere malice to the essayist, Vive le Roi All this is very good,: • but there is still a finer stroke of nature behind. Lord Castlereagh, who before , stood so high in the essayist's good graces, that he had selected his Lordship as the chosen instrument by whoa) he was to deliver mankind, all of a sudden becontes the object of his utter . aversion. Nothing but a deep knowledge of the human heart ttitil.l have enabled Mr, Hobhouse to have exhibited himself at_once proud 'of his essay and his inagrianiniity,' and yet conscious of the ridicule and lolly of the proceeding to the de gree of hating Lord . Castlereagh for having been the involuntary cause of it. But while we give Mr. Hobhouse this praise for the scope and general execution of his work, there are some Points in which we think the vi gotir and force of his irony have carried him too far: The gratitude of Louis XVIII. to heaven, for his preservation during 25 years of adversity, and for restoration to his native land and the throne of his ancestors—anti the more tender and heroic piety of that child of sorrow, the Duchess of An gouleme, are, naturally enough, the objects of ri dicule and abhorrence to the bloody and godless cannibals of the Revolution ; and of course Mr. Hobhouse, when imitating the style of these monsters, could not altogether avoid some allu sion to the most characteristic and disgusting of their profane atrocities :• but we believe that our readers will agree that lie has ,gone too far, and that the following passages transgress the bounds, we will not say of piety or good taste only, but those of common decency, good manners, and fair ridicule: The Court carpenter preferred his useless block from a scarecrow to a saint ; the wax-chandlers contemplated the inevitable, re-illumination of all the extinguished candlesticks of every shrine ; days and nights all the gates of all the churches were expanded, whilst their rival- shops were shut. Relics rattled together from the four qua►ters of the Capital to be re-adjusted and re-enshrined by a second St. Louis. But the King mighx have ' given their daily bread' to his 60 priests! he might have'said his thousand- masses —be might have devoted his France to the Virgin_ar grubbed up his brother's bones ! his *Antigone mig4st have shut the Sunday. Boonapar te tlik Mr. Ilobliouse puts for q) the whole force of his pleasantry ; H-nrl,•ris every Man 1, 4 fond of doing often that which be dies welt — his irdriic;al praises of Napoleon occupy a great Proportion of !.he two volumes. I have now s.:en Ilim twice—the first time. on Sunday at the review of the National Guards; the e ect n ui tine at the Theatre Frang:tis on the following- 1 7 ,iday, At His srst visit to that Theatre since Hiq return.'—vol. ii. p. This. designation of Buonnparte, by-air - awful and respectful pronoun, as if he was the n illy Lie on earth, is certainly 41 good imitation of the pro- - • ' . fane adulation of his followefs ; but we snspert that Mr, lioblionse had in his eye a trait of that great master of ridicule, Rabelais : he certainly k has caught the spirit of the Curd of Mention. and I r Tilzzes his pretended friend, the Emperor, in very much the sane vein that Rabelais laughs at a ,:" great personage of his day. The passage is, to , be found in the 48th chapter of the 4th book, in which Pantagmel and his companions put into the blessed island of the Papemanes ; and as the / original language is somewhat obsolete, we shall venture to present it to the Reader in our trans lation. . . As soon as the natives came alongside the ship, they all cried Out oth one voice—" Have you seen Him, strangers, have you seen Hint ?" " Seen whom ?" answered Panta gruel.—" Him," replied thee. " Who is he ?" cried Friar John : " 'Shlood . and 'onus, I'll heat him to mummy ;" for he thought that they were inquiring :titer some rubber, mur xlerer, or church-breaker. " How!" said they," do not you know the One ?" " Gentlemen," replied Epistemon, "Sec R do not und ers t an d y ou , h ave the goodness to explain your selves, and we will answer you fairly and without equivoca tion, IVho is it that you ask for?" " He that is," replied they; " hare you ever seen Him ?" " He - that is," re - 0 joined Pantagruel, " according to our creed, is God. In -. trot h, we never saw him, nor can he be seen of mortal eyes." " Put, tut !" cried they, " we do not speak of the Ghd who rules.in heaven ; hot of the God that reigns on earth : have you ever seen Him ?" " Upon mv honour," interrupted Car -1 pelim, " they mean the Pope." " Yes, yes," exclaimed Panurge, " yes, in truth, Gentlemen, I hav e s een him o ften ; k by the same to ken that I never reaped much advantage froM a the §ightl"' It is quite evident that Mr.llobhouse has close '• ly copied the first part o f this ex t ract ; we thi n k he. might have gone on to the close, and, avowed, with Pannrge, .that he had reaped no great ad vantage horn the sight. - - On other occdsions Mr. Hohhouse catches the true spirit of the Sebastianis *. and Savarys ; and mimics, admirable ridicule, the blind land pompous servility of the flatterers of Na When present at the Review on the Carousel, be can see nothing but the Jacobin idol.

There is som ething .irresistibly comic in the affectation of pathos and the puling se ns ibility with which the author pretended to see N a p o l eon re " ceive a petition from a.soldier. h'r , I see Napoleon at this moment. The unruffled calmness of his countenance, and the first movement of the soldier, re- V i lazing softly into a look or attention and of kindness, will tf, never be erased from my memory. We are nut stocks, nor ts4.nes, nor Tories! I am not ashamed to, say, :that on re tcovering from my first surprise, I found my eyes sontewl , st. ,tiroolstenerl ; a weakness, that never fails to overpower some %person s, wh,n.alooe and unrest rainedby ridicule, at the pe irusal of any trait of unmixed heroism, especially of that i un -4 r l datinted tranquillity of mind, which formed and finished the 'itionster-spirits of antiquity:'—vol. i. p. 39. - '' 4 , We have never met a better instance of the ...,itranchant style of the litionaparte school than {'kthe following :—The: Allies took Palls in 1814, INapoleon being still 'living and reigning, and at th e head of 80,000 men ; it was of course Tether is difficult point for his admirers to represent this *vent as favourable to the military credit of the ;usurper; yet Mr. Hohhimse contrives to do it ;with admirable - art in one short sentence. The Allies found themselves at Paris—they knew nut how !'—vol. i. p. 83. _ Here then the military character of Bnonapnrte and the French army is not only preserved from :imputation, hitt the very success of the allies :attfdly turned into a proof tit their, ignorance and )nca pa y. The feelings with which Mr. Hobhouse des scribes himself, as assisting at the pantomime of the Champ de Mai are quite excellent tor- their ludicrous inconsistency and stupid amazement.— Buonaparte himself, with liberty itt his mouth and the sword in his hand, could hardly have made a more characteristic declamation. 4 My friend and 'myself pressed backwards to the outward Circle of the amphitheatre, and surveyed a scene more mag nificent than any pen can describe. The Monarch on his 'pen Throne, which seemed a glittering pyramid of eagles, and arms, anti military habits, crowned hy his own white plumes—an immense plain, as it were, of soldiers, flanked with multitudes so innumerable that the sloping banks-on path side presented but one mass of heads—the man-L—the cotispired to surprise Lts,into a most unqualified, ntiphilosophical admiration of the 'whole spectacle, before p. 413. The sante appearance of devotion to the Napo leon (‘'nasty is pleasantly continued to the very end !" the second surt•ender of Paris, withonr a battle, extinguished all the hopes Of•the lovers of carnage and Boonaparte 4 Hear how admirably Mr...Hoblionse mimics their language. , •At.four o'clock the battle had not begun. I was t builder- Struck with the news. 'lie Lientenant-General had just left the army ; all Was lost—Paris had surrendered, with a de 6ted army of 80,000 soldiers befoie her p. 122. When Napoleon abandons, for the fifth time, Eris army after the battle of Waterloo, Mr. Hob house, its the words of his admirers, states, us his excuse, that the same course had succeeded atter rhe Russian campaign ; and then he tender:y adds, in - his own voice, ' But, alas ! times are ehanged P \or is the seeming candour with which Mr. Hob - - iionse finds in, this d s esertion some little matter to Blaine les dexterously managed. cannot he concealed there is in the flight of Napoleon ai-precipitaney whi,ch nothing can excuse; and we roust sigh, as Montesquieu . did over the suicide of Brutus, to see the educe of liberty so easily abandoned.'—vol. ii. p. 13. By this ingtmionS allusion; Buonapatte, even in his most blameable conduct, is placed on a level with BrOtos; and his cause dexterously con tsimnded with the cause of the liberties of the sou id. But it is not in his-imitation of a passion for Napoleon that Mr. Hobhouse • excels ; his vehe [tient indignation against all British statesmen %Om retused to bow the knee to this Corsican Baal, is a fac-simile of the old diatribes of the Nluniteur, and might have flowed from the pens Regnault or Caulincourt ; and this, we own, is tlie'part of Mr. Hobbouse's work which we 4ve reed with the greatest satisfaction.

Louis - began his reign by saying mass for the soul of his brother; (monstrous!) he next instituted a fate similar to that of the day (the Martyrdom of King Charles) " when every sovereign in Europe rises with a crick its his neck."— Then was parlor med the last office of fraternal piety by this hone-collecting court. Between these acts there was a'per- Pet"! Playing off of court horrors and antipathies at the very sound or smell of regicide. The Duchess of Angouleme never !oohed at a Parisian crowd without shuddering, - as if beholding the children.and champions of revolution. If at the -Tuileries she saw a lady of the imperial court, she- passed over on the other side. Her jealousy descended upon the children of those that had hated her father;' Ste. pp. 175, 176. We have no admiration for the ceremonial of the.church.of Rome; but we are too much con vinced that in all countries, but more particularly in France, there is one thing needful,' and that this one thing is faith,.--to tolerate, even in sport, an attack on a national religion ; and revering and loving our own establishment, we do not like to see the religious establishments of other people reviled. Mr. Hoblionse is a wag:---but he should recollect that' there is one class of subjects, at least, with which (even with, good intentions) a wag should not intermeddle ; and to call a transfer of tire mortal remains of a martyred king to con seerated ground, •‘ a grubbing up of bones'—to describe the terror with which holuan !wore shudders at murder, and the deeper horror which morality and policy feel at regicide, as playing off court horrors at the very Sound or smell of revicide'—to qualify the cutting oil the head of an innocent and blameless sovereign as only baring' him- 7 .4nd to ridicule as a pettish ' jea lousy' 'he involuntary horror with which the or phan views the murderers of her parents,—are, we presume to think, expressions which Mr. Hothouse could not justify his using to an Eng lish pnhlic, if he could even chew that he bor- Io‘‘ed or imitated them from Marat, Hebert, or Courtiron ; but if, as we believe, the madness and wickedness even of the Septembrist•rs were never pushed'to these horrible extremes, we fear that Mr. - Hohhonse runs some risk of implicating his own charader by such thoughtless. and licentious IVe have good reason to think that Mr. Hob — house himself feels a little with us on this point, • and that he has suppressed a great deal of what he had at first written in this strain. The volumes before us evince that about 100 pages of the first, and about 70 of the second (as well as we can reckon them), have been cancelled ; this, per haps, we should explain to readers not versed in the manual art of the press, is a term which is used when, after a sheet haS been printed off, it is found to contain something which the author wishes to suppress. In this case, a new page with the necessary - alterations is reprinted, and stitched in the place of the cancelled leaf.. To have been obliged to incur the delay and expence of cancelling so large a proportion of his work, proves that Mr. Hobbouse's first sketch contained at least one bundeed .and seventy passages which were not fit to see the light. Of what a deep shade these passages must have been, may be judged of by the colour of thoie which he has not thought it necessary to suppress : but as Mr. Hobhouse shews that he is himself convinced that even raillery may become atrocious, we recom mend him to consider whether there are not a great majority of the remaining pages which might also be improved by the same process. On the whole,we cannot recommend air. Hob house's book : if Any reader werd doll enough to mistake it for seriousness, it would certainly ap pear one of - the most infamous libels ou the name and character of an Englishman that ever was written ;' and, what is not in general the fault of libels, it would he found so tedious, so dull, and withal so laboriously impudent, that our contempt for the author's talents would almost equal our abhorrence of his principleS : and even when a reader of discernment takes up the work for the -purpose of [at:itching at it, in its trite character of a mere drollery, we still think that the great length of the whole will be found to d e f e at the pleasantry of the particular passages. Parcdies and irony do not bear to he wire-drawn and spin out to the length of nine hundred octavo pages. Pleasaniry• most be scarcely perceptible when spread .over such an immense space ; and the terseness and condensed wit of the Anti-Jacobin are, though in the same line, perfect contrasts to the.ponderous levities and the laborious trifles of Mr, Hohhouse. We cannot conclude without warning Mr. Hob house from a fault to which we have already al luded, but which, as it seems to us the most im portant whirls he has committed, we wish to press upon hiss consideration ;it is this,--t hat irony exaggerated, and parody pushed to extra vagance, are as dull as when they fall dead short. Mr. Hobbouse should not out-Herod Herod ; and in affecting to imitate the language and principles of such monsters as Marat, Murat, Maret, Buo. naparte, and the Pie de Chene, justice as well as decency—good manners as well as good taste, forbid a writer from- exaggerating the faults of his models. Subjects of this nature are not, its the best hands, very susceptible of gaiety ; but the inflamed and swolen imitations of Mc. Hob= house leave us in a confused and painful state of mind ; we are often at a loss to know whether he be in jest or in earnest ; and we cannot help feeling, as it is somewhere said one does in look ing at a picture by Spagnoletto, that he who was capable of painting a murder so horribly, was capa ble of committing one."
